The Problem We Solve

There’s a gap between your prototype and scalable production

Design finalized

DFM review not production-validated

Excess P/Ns due to non-standardization

Tolerances designed for prototype, not production

BOM has unresolved cost and yield risk

Drawing revisions still in flux

The gap

No program management owner

No quality control plan established

Supplier qualification not started

Cost model disconnected from SC

No integrated NPI schedule

Production ready

Suppliers locked to audited facilities

Quality control plans and inspection protocols established

Cost optimized at primary source

Logistics and tariff strategy in place

Fictiv fills this gap

We’re the integration layer between engineering, program management, and supply chain.

Who We Work With

Built for the team that has to make it happen

Engineering

Engineering

Design complete — but BOM cleanup, supplier RFQs, and DFM translation keep landing on your desk for mitigation and approval. You didn’t sign up to be the supply chain manager, but the supply chain isn’t robust yet. Every rev change ripples out to suppliers you didn’t choose and processes you didn’t design.

What you get with Fictiv

Real, Human Experts in Engineering & Supply Chain

Your dedicated TPM takes ownership of your production processes and DFX requirements — so the supply chain stops landing on your desk

DFM/DFX consultation

Human feedback tied to real production constraints at your specific suppliers, not generic design rules that ignore your tolerances, materials, or production volumes.

BOM consolidation

We audit your parts list for manufacturability, redundant P/Ns, single-source risks, and tolerance mismatches before locking in tooling or suppliers — catching the expensive mistakes before tooling is locked.

Why We’re Different

Not a marketplace — a locked supply chain built for your BOM

Prototype networks route parts to available capacity. Our production system works differently — sourcing your parts to specific, expert manufacturing centers with locked processes, carrying forward the data and lessons learned from prototyping, and backed by an engineering team that owns outcomes before the RFQ is even sent.

Audited facilities

Your parts stay where you put them

In production, your suppliers are locked to specific, audited facilities. Parts aren’t arbitrarily moved to available capacity. You know which facility makes each part, and you can visit, audit, or transfer tooling anytime.

Lower costs

Structured lower costs

We source directly from primary manufacturers — no broker layers or agent fees. A shorter supply chain has fewer margin stops. That difference shows up in your landed cost, not just your quoted unit price.

Engineering-led launch partnership

Engineering-led launch partnership

We start with a Launch Partner SOW covering part numbers, production processes, DFX requirements, and BOM rationalization. Your Fictiv TPM owns your program outcomes, not just your quote response.

Global reach, regional accountability

Global reach, regional accountability

Most global supply chains are managed from a distance. When you source through Fictiv in the U.S., Mexico, India, or China, there’s a Fictiv engineer already on-site.

One partner for the full product lifecycle

One partner for the full product lifecycle

Custom parts, off-the-shelf components, assembly, finishing, logistics, and tariff management — all coordinated through a single TPM.

One system of record

One system of record

Our production planning system continuously tracks demand against supply across every program, surfacing shortages and PO timing risks.

How It Works

Go from funded to shipping — with someone owning every step

Your Technical Program Manager scopes part numbers, production processes, DFX requirements, and BOM rationalization before a single supplier is contacted. This is what makes the rest of the process different.

01

Quote a program

Submit your BOM, assembly specs, or OTS requirements. Your Fictiv Solutions Engineer responds within 24 hours.

02

Proposal & strategy

Within 2 business days: line cards, sourcing strategy, cost modeling, logistics plan, and certifications.

03

DFX & BOM optimization

Value engineering, human DFM/DFX review, p/n rationalization, portfolio cost analysis, and commodity/risk management.

04

NPI readiness

NPI Readiness Assessment, PLM/ERP planning, Gantt analysis, and mold/tool design.

05

Manufacturing

Custom parts, OTS components, assembly, and finishing — all to your 2D drawings and tolerances.

06

Quality & inspection

Fictiv-approved control plans are executed to minimize nonconformances. If escaping defects occur, closed loop systems driven by Fictiv SQEs eliminate recurrence.

07

Logistics & delivery

Tariff mitigation, customs clearance, and in-region logistics expertise from factory to your dock at lowest landed cost.

08

Production planning & lifecycle

Demand-to-supply planning, shortage alerts, and PO timing recommendations run continuously against your program.

Trusted by Industry Leaders

“We operate at a very dynamic pace as we scale our business and we struggled with many suppliers to meet the dynamic pace of moving from prototype to production. We were quoted 20 weeks from large Contract Manufacturers and Fictiv was able to deliver production quality parts in six to eight weeks. The supplier network that Fictiv has onboarded is incredibly impressive, we got to see it first hand and met the people who are building out tools and saw their quality processes, we can really trust Fictiv.”
